Bleeding brakes on mk4 xr3i
I attempted to bleed my brakes after geting a new master cylinder. I know your supposed to start at the furthest away brake from master cylinder so went for the rear offside first. Fine got the nipple loose and got it bled. Went for the near side rear next and couldn't loosen the nipple, so I'm wondering if it really matters which brake order you do it in? And what happens if you do it in the wrong order. Thanks.

I've got the gunsons eezi bleed in the link but also have a vacuum bleeder for any awkward little bleeders!!
I've always started at the nearest saves my feet walking too much that way, and never had a problem on any car tbh.
